Too Social To Understand
I found the topic of distinguishing your "friends of the heart" and "friends of the road" a very interesting one because I could be a little too social to understand this concept. I try to make friends with everybody but then I tend to develop a different relationship some, compared to others. Like, I have my certain conversations with my certain friends but then I can not distinguish who my "friends of the heart" and who my "friends of the road" are. I believe that as I get older, I am starting to realize that you cannot trust everyone, not everyone accepts you for who you are, and not everyone will give you that support that you could be looking for. Me being the way I am, I should not cut off, but narrow down the count of friends and start becoming more humble with myself when it comes to "associates".

Greetings Tina,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed this posting because I feel like I can relate to it in many ways. Like you, over the years, I have learned that I cannot automatically have all of my “friends of the road” become “friends of the heart.” Being social is great but I have been hurt so many times by girls claiming to be my friends that I had to learn how to be not only smarter about what discussions I would have with people but that I had to hang out with higher quality individuals in order to not have to go through and re-learn the experiences I already should have learned.
Thanks for the reminder without the pain,
